"No Matter What" is a song from the 1996 musical Whistle Down the Wind that was popularised by Irish boyband Boyzone in 1998 when they recorded it to tie in with the show's first UK production. The song was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman, who also produced the song with Nigel Wright. The song was also featured on the US edition of the soundtrack to the 1999 film Notting Hill, and was released to American radio on 10 May 1999.
The song became Boyzone's fourth number-one on the UK Singles Chart, with its three-week stay atop the chart making it Boyzone's longest-running number-one single, as well as being their overall best-selling single and the best-selling single by an Irish artist in UK chart history, selling 1.15 million copies in the UK and another three million worldwide.[1] It was also the first ever winner of the annual The Record of the Year award held on ITV in December 1998.[2] It also became the band's first and only song to have any chart success in the US. In New Zealand, the song spent six non-consecutive weeks at number one and ended 1998 as the country's most successful single.
